Grooming At NUST + Internship Opportunities

NUST is home to the largest and most diverse student body in the country. With over 23 institutions, and well over 50,000 applicants annually, students at NUST hail from Pishin to interior Sindh, from the far-flung areas of KPK and Gilgit Baltistan, to the big cities. Hence, students come from a variety of backgrounds and some are extremely conservative and religious while others are westernized, have lived abroad, and hold liberal views.

These are people who would have otherwise never even met each other; might never have had a chance to understand each other. However, at NUST, they are given this opportunity, a platform with the hope that they will be able to overcome their differences and learn from each other. Hence by working together and experiencing 4 years full of zest at NUST, they leave the institution with an educated mindset and a passionate self to benefit the society.

As far as international exposure of NUST students is concerned, NUST brought the first international model United Nations (NIMUN 2013) to Islamabad, and students at NUST hosted the South Asian Youth Conference, discussing ideas for regional stability with participants from all SAARC countries. More recently, NUST hosted the World Engineering Congress and every year, an MUN (Model United Nations) delegation is trained to compete internationally. The INSPIRE (Science Society) and DISCOVER (Business School) competitions held annually encourage students to prepare and present entrepreneurship projects for national recognition.

Then, there are the national achievements of NUST students. A couple of years ago five NUST students were chosen for one of the nation’s most coveted student internship programmes at Procter & Gamble. Every year, recruiting teams from top organizations like Unilever, Coca Cola, ICI, Engro and Telenor visit NUST. While it is widely considered to be the best engineering university in the country, in recent years, NBS has also made advances in catching up to the Lahore University for Management Sciences (LUMS) for its repute in business management. Students from NBS compete annually in competitions held by Nestle, P&G, Reckitt Benkiser, and Unilever.

Internship opportunities, entrepreneurship programmes, international events and a lot new experiences, NUST is a whole package of all these things, It’s a place to make your dreams turn into a reality.
